his son resigned from the Company's Board of Directors.
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
EMCORE, founded in 1984, designs and develops compound semiconductor
materials and process technology and is a leading manufacturer of production
systems used to fabricate compound semiconductor wafers. Compound semiconductors
are used in a broad range of applications in wireless communications,
telecommunications, computers, and consumer and automotive electronics. The
Company provides its customers, both in the US and internationally, with
materials science expertise, process technology and compound semiconductor
production systems that enable the manufacture of commercial volumes of
high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices. In response to the
growing need of its customers to cost effectively get to market faster with
higher volumes of new and improved high performance products, the Company has
expanded its product offerings to include the design, development and production
of compound semiconductor wafers and package-ready devices.
On December 5, 1997, the Company purchased MicroOptical Devices, Inc.
("MODE"). MODE is one of the market leaders in the design and development of
high-quality optical components and subsystems based on vertical cavity surface
emitting laser ("VCSEL") technology, which offers superior performance at lower
cost over conventional semiconductor laser technologies. MODE's microlasers and
optical subsystems provide design, performance and significant cost advantages
over their technical predecessors such as edge-emitting solid state lasers.
Through the integration of VCSELs with leading OEM systems design, VCSELs are
expected to provide enhanced performance benefits to market applications such as
Internet access, onboard photonics, gigabit ethernet, local area networks,
microarea networks, DVD and fiberoptic switching. MODE's Gigalase(TM) and
Gigarray(TM) technology developments to date are currently being evaluated by a
variety of domestic and international OEM customers in the areas of data
communications, telecommunications, optical storage and sensing.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
REVENUES The Company's first quarter revenue increased 43.8% from $8.6
million for the quarter ended December 31, 1996, to $12.4 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 1997. The revenue increase in the three month period
was primarily attributable to the introduction of compound semiconductor wafers
and package-ready devices into the Company's product lines, as well as payments
related to a licensing agreement for product development technology. Revenues
relating to systems and materials accounted for 54.4% and 45.6% for the three
months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Systems revenue includes
production systems, service and components. Materials revenues include wafers,
devices and payments for product development technology under a licensing
agreement. International sales accounted for approximately 44.2% and 64.3% of
revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The Company believes that in the future its revenues and consequential
results of operations in a quarterly period could be impacted by the timing of
customer development projects and related purchase orders for the Company's
varied products, new product announcements and releases by the Company, and
economic conditions generally and the compound semiconductor industry
environment specifically.
COST OF SALES/GROSS PROFIT Cost of sales includes direct material and labor
costs, allocated manufacturing and service overhead, and installation and
warranty costs. Gross profit increased from 21.7% of revenue for the quarter
ended December 31, 1996, to 48.4% of revenue for the quarter ended December 31,
1997. The gross profit percentage increase was primarily attributable to higher
margins on materials related revenues.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased by 39.6% from $2.2 million for the quarter ended December 31,
1996, to $3.1 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1997. The increase was
largely due to increases in sales personnel headcount to support both domestic
and foreign markets and general headcount additions to sustain the internal
administrative support necessary for the Company's increased business, as well
as higher variable expenses attributable to increased revenues. In addition, the
Company recognized approximately $71,000 of goodwill amortization for the
quarter in connection with the acquisition of MODE on December 5, 1997. As a
percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
from 25.6% for the first quarter of the prior year to 24.9% for the first
quarter of the current year.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expenses increased
significantly from $2.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1996, to $32.1
million in the quarter ended December 31, 1997. Of this amount, approximately
$29.3 million pertained to the Company's December 5, 1997, one-time non-cash
charge for acquired in-process research and development in connection with the
purchase of MODE. Absent this non-recurring charge, research and development was
$2.8 million, or a 26.0% increase over the first quarter of fiscal 1996. As a
percentage of revenue, excluding the one-time non-cash charge for acquired
in-process research and development, research and development expenses decreased
from 26.2% for the first quarter of the prior year to 23.0% for the first
quarter of the current year. To maintain growth and market leadership in
epitaxial technology, the Company expects to continue to invest a significant
amount of its resources in research and development.
OPERATING INCOME (LOSS) Not including the operations of MODE acquired on
December 5, 1997 nor the one-time non-cash charge of $29.3 million relating to
the acquired research and development, operating profit increased $3.3 million
from a loss of $2.6 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1996, to income of
$0.7 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1997. Including MODE's operations
from the date of acquisition and the $29.3 million charge, the Company's
operating profit decreased $26.6 million from a loss of $2.6 million in the
quarter ended December 31, 1996, to a loss of $29.2 million in the quarter ended
December 31, 1997. The change in operating loss is primarily due to the purchase
of MODE and corresponding one-time non-cash charge for acquired in-process
research and development.
OTHER EXPENSE During fiscal 1996, the Company issued detachable warrants
along with subordinated notes to certain of its existing shareholders. In the
first quarter of fiscal year 1997, the Company also issued detachable warrants
in return for a $10.0 million demand note facility (the "Facility") guarantee by
a director of the Company, affiliated with the Company's majority shareholder,
who provided collateral for the Facility. The Company subsequently assigned a
value to these detachable warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The Company recorded the subordinated notes at a carrying value that is subject
to periodic accretions, using the interest method, and reflected the Facility
detachable option value as a debt issuance cost. The consequent expense of these
warrant accretion amounts and the now terminated Facility debt issuance cost is
charged to "Imputed warrant interest, non-cash," and amounted to $1.0 million
and $91,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997,
respectively. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had borrowed $6.0 million
under the Facility. This amount was repaid on March 31, 1997. The interest
expense under the Facility resulted in higher stated interest expense for the
quarter ended December 31, 1996.
NET INCOME/LOSS Excluding the operations of MODE and the one-time charge of
$29.3 million, net income increased $4.3 million from a net loss of $3.8 million
in the quarter ended December 31, 1996, to net income of $0.5 million in the
quarter ended December 31, 1997. Including MODE's operations from the date of
acquisition and the $29.3 million charge, the Company's net loss increased $25.6
million from a loss of $3.8 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1996, to a
loss of $29.4 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1997. This year-to-date
loss increase was primarily attributable to the aforementioned write-off of
acquired in-process research and development in connection with the acquisition
of MODE on December 5, 1997.
BACKLOG
The Company's order backlog decreased 6.7% from $23.8 million as of
December 31, 1996, to $22.2 million as of December 31, 1997. The Company
includes in backlog only customer purchase orders which have been accepted by
the Company and for which shipment dates have been assigned within the 12 months
to follow and research contracts that are in process or awarded. Wafer and
device contract agreements extending longer than one year in duration are
included in backlog only for the ensuing 12 months with respect to wafers and 3
months with respect to devices. Some of these agreements currently extend over
12 months. The Company receives partial advance payments or irrevocable letters
of credit on most production system orders and has never experienced an order
cancellation. Although the Company has increased its capacity to meet continued
increased production needs, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
consistently able to increase its capacity to meet its scheduled needs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents decreased by
$352,000 from $3.7 million at September 30, 1997, to $3.3 million at December
31, 1997. For the three months ended December 31, 1997, net cash provided by
operations amounted to $1.0 million, primarily due to the Company's increase in
accounts payable and decrease in accounts receivable which was offset by the
Company's net losses excluding one-time charges, increase in inventory, and
decrease in accrued expenses and advanced billings. For the three months ended
December 31, 1997, net cash used in investment activities amounted to $1.4
million due to purchase and manufacture of new equipment for the facilitation of
the Company's wafer and package ready device product lines and clean room
modifications and enhancements.
On March 31, 1997, the Company entered into a $10.0 million revolving loan
(the "Agreement"). The Agreement bears interest at the rate of Prime plus 50
basis points, subject to periodic quarterly decreases, and has a revolving loan
maturity date and expires on September 30, 1998. As of December 31, 1997, there
were no borrowings under the Agreement, however, in January 1998, the Company
borrowed $3.0 million at an interest rate of 8.25%.
The Company believes that its current liquidity, together with the
Agreement, should be sufficient to meet its cash needs for working capital
through fiscal 1998. However, if cash generated from operations is insufficient
to satisfy the Company's liquidity requirements, the Company may be required to
raise funds through equity or debt offerings or obtain additional credit
facilities if possible. Additional funding may not be available when needed or
on terms acceptable to the Company, which could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business financial conditions or operations.
At December 31, 1997, the Company employed 307 full-time employees, up
50.5% from 204 as of December 31, 1996 and up 186.9% from the 107 employees at
December 31, 1995. The increase in the number of employees since the end of 1995
is a direct result of the Company's increased manufacturing needs to meet the
demand for its compound semiconductor production systems and materials. None of
the Company's employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The
Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.
OUTLOOK On December 5, 1997, the Company purchased MODE. MODE is one of the
market leaders in the design and development of high-quality components and
subsystems based on VCSEL technology, which is expected to offer superior
performance and higher efficiency over conventional compound semiconductor
technologies.
MODE's microlasers and optical subsystems provide design, performance and
significant cost advantages over their technical predecessors such as
edge-emitting solid state lasers. Through the integration of VCSELs with leading
OEM systems design, VCSELs are expected to provide enhanced performance benefits
to market applications such as Internet access, onboard photonics, gigabit
ethernet, local area networks, microarea networks such as chip-to-chip and
board-to-board applications, DVD and fiberoptic switching. MODE's Gigalase(TM)
and Gigarray(TM) technology developments to date are currently being evaluated
by a variety of domestic and international OEM customers in the areas of data
communications, telecommunications, optical storage and sensing.
The Company believes that VCSEL technology may address a number of
technical bandwidth challenges applicable to the high-speed computing and
communications markets, allowing optoelectronic applications to perform their
functions at higher speeds with lower costs than traditional optoelectronic
systems. The Company believes that with the acquisition of MODE, it will be well
positioned to actively participate in the development of the next-generation
optoelectronic laser market which is estimated to grow to one billion dollars by
the year 2000.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued 1,461,866 shares of
Common Stock, 200,966 common stock purchase options and 47,118 common stock
purchase warrants in exchange of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of MODE.
The acquisition purchase price amounted to approximately $32.8 million. The
acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of accounting and a
significant portion of the purchase price was taken as a one-time charge of
approximately $29.3 million by the Company related to the write-off of
acquired in-process research and development.
Historically the Company has generated significant revenues from its
TurboDisc(TM) product line from Asian customers. Continued economic and
currency-related uncertainty in the region could impact the Company's future
TurboDisc(TM) sales in this market.

on all of these market opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that
the Company will maintain sufficient growth in sales levels to support the
associated labor, equipment and facility costs.

__________________
(1) Under the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Bulletin
No. 64 ("SAB" No. 64), common stock and common stock equivalents issued by
the company within one year or in contemplation of the Company's offering
are treated as if they were outstanding for all periods presented prior to
the Company's IPO. After the IPO is effective, the determination of common
stock and equivalents has been determined on a basis consistent with APB
Opinion No. 15, which states "outstanding options and warrants should be
included in the EPS computation only if they have a dilutive effect."
(2) This calculation is submitted in accordance with Securities Exchange Act of
1934 Release No. 9083 although not required by footnote 2 of paragraph 14
of APB Opinion No. 15 because it results in dilution of less than 3%.
